Make a karaoke version of any song
Upload a song and get the backing track without the singer, ready to sing over. The vocals are removed by an AI separation model rather than the old phase trick, so the music stays in stereo and the bass and drums stay full.
How it works
- Choose a song (up to 500 MB and 10 minutes).
- Pick MP3 or WAV and start; the instrumental is the only file you get back.
- Play it in the page or download it. Deleted after 60 minutes.
Questions
Why does this sound better than other vocal removers?
Older tools cancel whatever is in the centre of the stereo mix, which also removes bass, kick drum and anything else panned there, and leaves reverb behind. This one uses a model trained to recognise voices, so only the voice goes.
Can I keep the backing vocals?
The model treats all singing as vocals, so backing vocals are mostly removed too. Choose "Vocals and instrumental" on the vocal remover if you want both tracks to mix your own balance.
How clean is the separation?
Good on most studio recordings, but not perfect: reverb tails, backing vocals and instruments that sit in the vocal range (a lead guitar, a sax) can leave traces in the wrong track, and heavily compressed or low-bitrate files separate less cleanly. Upload the best-quality copy you have.
What happens to my file?
It is uploaded to our server, separated there, and the upload and every result are deleted automatically 60 minutes after the job started. Nothing is kept, nothing is used to train anything, and nobody listens to it.
What are the limits?
Files up to 500 MB and 10 minutes long. One song is separated at a time, so at busy moments yours waits in a short queue; the page shows how many are ahead.
Which model does the separating?
Hybrid Transformer Demucs (htdemucs), the open-source music source separation model published by Meta AI researchers under the MIT licence. It runs on our own servers; your audio is not sent to any other service.
May I use the result?
The separated tracks are still the song. Use them the way you are allowed to use the original: practice, study, remixes for yourself, or material you own or have licensed.
Do I need an account?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to install.
